Automate billing for agritech pilots so founders get paid without chasing farms.
Solo agritech founders bear high pilot costs with farms that demand endless free trials, preventing revenue generation.
PilotBillr lets solo agritech founders create customizable paid pilot plans for farms, with one-click Stripe invoicing and automated reminders. It tracks usage, generates reports, and ensures revenue flows even during trials. Founders set it up once and focus on product, not payments.
